InstaWeather Pro has arrived for Windows Phone 8; log your current temp with a photo

Today, the popular “weather documenting app” InstaWeather Pro has been released for Windows Phone 8 devices. We gave you a sneak peek of that app, which is coming from iOS and Android, back in July and now you can have it too.

InstaWeather Pro is one of a new class of popular social apps where you take a photo, presumably outside, and then overlay the current conditions and location info over it. The photo is then ideal for sharing to social networks so friends and family can see where you are—think of it like a virtual postcard.

The app says it has the unique ability to share your creation directly with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and foursquare, though we were hard pressed to find that in this release. Instead, the app uses the default Share option for images, allowing you to hand it off to your other third party apps, including 6tagram (beta) or Instance.

InstaWeather Pro has improved substantially from our early look, as it feels more fluid and responsive than the beta version. That’s good news as the app does cost $0.99 with no free trial. That lack of a free trial is a bit of a letdown as we know many of you will simply look for an alternative, like the free Ciel.

Hopefully though the developers behind InstaWeather Pro will add a trial feature in an update. (We should note though that InstaWeather Pro costs $1.99 on iOS and Android, making the $0.99 price point a little easier to swallow for Windows Phone users).

I think I'll get this just to inflict revenge upon my Android friends who literally spammed Facebook with the photos of this damn app as if it was really interesting to see the weather in their area...=P

Weather Tag Pro is a good alternative one. It supports both Windows Phone 7.x and 8. And it isn't limited to square pictures while it supports portrait and landscape ones, and square, of course.
The app comes with limited features trial version but you can unlock it with just $0.99. It can be found on the Windows Phone Store here

Apparently! I don't get it either. I'd much rather see a post like "ermergherd it's so hot, it's like 40 degrees!!!" than a lame photo showing it's actually only 31.5 degrees :P How else can I point out it's not hot unless it's over 38 :P

I cannot believe how popular this is. And they say the British are boring cos all we do is talk about the weather. Are people so bored and desperate for attention these days that they think an app like this is cool? It sounds like a desperate idea for an app that the developers probably thought 50 people would use. I pity humanity sometimes.

Thanks Daniel, means a lot coming from you. Sure maybe a bit, but still it does seem a bit pointless and just goes to show how often this "app gap" is really not so important. It's quality not quantity that counts. Oh and I gave up readign or watching the news years ago, I think i'd have pressed the "nuke" button on the human race if I did that.
Have a lovely weekend WP peeps :-)

Great app, very nice! I posted a few days ago a similar application, but instead of sharing weather, Umbrella 8 allows to download images of Flickr's group 'Weather Project' . You can try the following link bit.ly/1exUyZM
